3 R’s of Fantastic Yet Cheap Halloween Costumes

September 12th, 2011

(September 12, 2011) Almost everybody prepares their Halloween costumes months before Halloween. Similarly, everybody spend great deals when it comes to Halloween costumes. But did you know that, today, celebrating the Halloween does not have to be expensive? Yes. In fact, there are a lot of customized cheap Halloween costumes that can make your Halloween party extraordinary without even burning a hole in your pocket.

Picking a spooky costume doesn’t have to be high-priced. With a touch of something old and something new, you can already win the appreciation of the people around you. If you are thinking of making a cheap costume for Halloween, then follow these 3 R’s (Recycle, Reduce, Reuse) of achieving a fantastic set of Halloween clothes.

Recycle—Your Halloween costume does not have to be new all the time. If you want to be different, bring out your old Halloween costume and recycle it. There are a lot of ways by which you can recreate a costume. Transform it and make it out of the ordinary. For example, you have a creepy costume before. Now, with the help of a sewing machine, you can make it reborn into a new character. Something like having a funny costume with a creepy nature. This way, you haven’t only achieved your creativity but you have also let your imaginative thinking out of their shell.

Reduce— This means that you have to be minimalist at times. Costumes that are adorned too much make them a sore in the eye. So, only put and decorate the right kind of embellishment to the costume. Try focusing on what you want to flaunt. If you want to make the face more visible, you have to work more obviously on the make-up and not too much on the costume and vice-versa. This way, you will achieve a Halloween look without buying too much unnecessary things from Halloween shops.

Reuse—One more way of attaining a great, yet cheap Halloween costumes is by re-using them. But before doing so, make sure that you have placed something different on the costume this time- something that can make the costume funnier or more bizarre than before. For example, you can put on your Snow White costume and then add wings and a crown for a little uniqueness. In this way, you can be a Snow White, a Fairy princess and a Tinkerbelle all at the same time!

So, may it be bizarre, funny, creepy or serious Halloween costume, what is important is the impact that you make to the people around you without costing your pocket too much. Enjoy preparing for the Halloween party by following the said 3 R’s of achieving fantastic yet cheap Halloween costumes.

Threadlites – Illuminated Apparel Collegiate Series to Exhibit at CAMEX 2010

May 9th, 2010

November 19, 2009 – Palm Beach, FL – US Branding Group, LLC announced today that they will be exhibiting their innovative ThreadLites™ – Illuminated Branded Tee Shirts & Caps Collegiate Series during the Campus Market Expo (CAMEX), at the Orange County Convention Center, Orlando, Florida March 13 – 15, 2010.

US Branding Group President Rich Butler, a 25 year veteran in the promotional products and retail industries can hardly contain his excitement and enthusiasm.  “CAMEX has a long history of being the collegiate retailing industry’s meeting place.  Now retail buyers can allow students, Alumni and fans to show their school spirit in a whole new light with our innovative illuminated Collegiate branded apparel.  We are excited to be bringing our electroluminescent (EL) technology to the collegiate consumer retail market and look forward to “wowing” trade show attendees.”

Unlike fiber optics, unlike LED’s, and unlike any previous “light up” product, Butler explains, ThreadLites™ utilizes a safe organic phosphor powder that is sandwiched between thin PVC panels.

The panels are printed with the collegiate mascot or logo in full digital color and neatly sewn to a garment.  When a safe, low voltage electrical current is introduced from a hidden lightweight AAA battery pack, the phosphor emits light energy rather than heat, thus creating an unbelievably colorful and bright illuminating effect.

TechnoThreadZ™ tee shirts add a miniature microphone that is embedded inside the battery pack.  The introduction of sound, music, even applause from a crowd, causes the printed panel to flash brightly, like a graphic equalizer effect.  “Anyone who wears a ThreadLites™ or TechnoThreadZ™ at night”, says Butler, “better be prepared to be the center of attraction wherever they go, the wow factor is just that powerful!”

US Branding Group expects to have their first wave of Officially Licensed Collegiate ThreadLites™ ready for sale by early 2010.  The initial line up Illuminated Branded shirts will include:  University of Hawaii, Arizona State University, Iowa State University, University of Nevada Las Vegas, United States Naval Academy, NC State, Wake Forest, Seton Hall, Columbia University and St. John’s University.

According to Butler, ThreadLites™ caps are also under development and will also be ready for distribution in the New Year.  He also expects that more schools will be licensed and added to the ThreadLites™ Collegiate Collection throughout the New Year.

An Article on Seiko Arctura Kinetic Men’s Watch SRN013P1 SRN013P SRN013

April 24th, 2010

Seiko Arctura analog watches encase various kinetic movements. All kinetic calibers rely on the motion of the wearer’s hand to generate and accumulate energy that can be used to propel the entire mechanism. There are several additional characteristics that distinguish Seiko Arctura. First, its dials exhibit high clarity of visual arrangement – which helps uncomplicated time reading. Second, it inserts circles and arches to repeat the natural arc motif. Third, the indices resemble arrow heads and “confront” the hands – which create interesting tension. Finally, it reduces the number of links in the bracelets in order to diminish friction with air, and produce a streamlined, effective look.

Seiko has a good reputation for solid craftsmanship and always accurate. Movement of the weight charges a battery, which then powers the watch. As a result, time remains accurate up to the bitter end. It will probably save a little money on batteries. Speaking of scratch resistance the sapphire crystal is also much more scratch resistant than the typical glass crystal. Also it is flush with the watch case for protection. The price is great for such an elegant looking watch. We don’t have to worry about replacing the battery. Other features include a date window at the 3 position, a sapphire crystal and water-tested to 100 meters and suitable for both swimming and snorkelling. This ultra-modern watch is slick and stylish and runs on the most advanced technology. Seiko arctura kinetic Collection features this stylish watch Men’s timepiece has a stainless steel case and black Polyurethane strap Watch has a classic black dial Folding clasp with push buttons Quartz Kinetic automatic movement Sapphire crystal date display at 3 o’clock and day display in arc pattern.

Fancy Dress Ball hit the catwalk

December 16th, 2009

Halifax, UK, - Leading online supplier of high quality fancy dress costumes, Fancy Dress Ball are delighted to announce that they are the first costume company worldwide to offer catwalk displays on their website.

However innovative and user-friendly a website may be, photographs remain very much two-dimensional and this makes it hard for customers to get a real idea of how a costume looks, hangs or moves.

Committed to providing their customers with the most information and the very best service possible, Fancy Dress Ball wanted to offer a more lifelike, three-dimensional view of the fantastic costumes they sell and they have found the perfect solution with their new fancy dress catwalk displays, which are now live on their website.

Featured on real moving models, the catwalk display allows customers to see an overall view of the costume from every angle and gain a true insight into the way it hangs, moves and its size, so that customers are able to make a truly informed decision when choosing an outfit.

“We are really proud to be the first fancy dress costume company in the world to offer our customers catwalk videos of our ranges,” says Paul Howcroft of Fancy Dress Ball. “The costumes now really come to life and our customers can see every aspect of each outfit to find the perfect one.”
